Says David Blaska in "Resign, Mayor Satya. Declare martial law, Gov. Evers!"
That last question is chilling, and isn't that what the protesters want? No one who opposes the chaos should hope for the right-wing crowd to add to this discord. Our own government should protect us, but it is displaying its unwillingness to do so. This is completely unfair to those of us who are peace-loving.
UPDATE: "Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers says his administration is prepared to activate the Wisconsin National Guard to protect state buildings after statues were toppled in Madison and buildings were damaged" (WBAY). Prepared... after.
"We are prepared to activate the Wisconsin National Guard to protect state buildings and infrastructure and are continuing to work with local law enforcement to understand their response to last night’s events and their plan to respond to similar events in the future," says Evers....
Wisconsin Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna) overnight called on the governor to deploy the Wisconsin National Guard to "protect the State Capitol" and those who have business there Wednesday....
Steineke tweeted, "The problem is, you [Evers] have tolerated it. You haven’t acted to protect state property. You say 'we are prepared to activate the National Guard.' Pardon me Gov, but what are you waiting for? A state Senator was attacked last night. Does someone need to die before you’ll act?"...

‘Exactly why cant citizens with the view that property should be protected, show up to protect property and citizens? Because only Democrats can intimidate through violence?’
You are not allowed to use violence to protect property!“
Maybe, but I think it varies by location. In Florida, my firearms instructor claimed that Florida law allows the use of deadly force if someone is trying to commit arson or carjacking.
Now while carjacking is a stretch (it assumes someone is in the car, so it is more like kidnaping), arson is purely a property crime.
@ Freeman Hunt 12:39 - naive: gun grabbers will still demand we deplorables disarm. If Biden wins, kiss your right to bear arms in a meaningful sense goodbye.
So Howard, how is the above possible if all those 1960's racists jumped to the republican party? Did the racists "forget" to switch parties for 30 or 40 years?
Bill Clinton won the South in 1992.
I'm not really concerned with the White part of the switch though. It clearly didn't happen, but even if it did, it has had no effect.
The part that bothers me is when the Black vote shifted. That happened between 1932 and 1936. In 1932 FDR got 21% of the Black vote. In 1936, he got 71%, and the Black vote has gone overwhelmingly Democratic ever since. That means Black voters switched at a time when the Democratic party was openly and proudly enforcing segregation and Jim Crow in the South.
Howard: "The Democrats won the WWI and WWII."
That would certainly come as a surprise to Eisenhower.
But then again, Howard is not, you know,.......smart.
Freeman Hunt is here to tell us to be more selective about statue toppling.
So I gather that people are still eating in Madison. when are they going to destroy all the grocery stores?
"That was a very clear point I heard from the long-time police officer who trained me when I went to shoot a gun at the gun range. If they're only coming for your PROPERTY, you are committing a crime if you defend with violence. They have to be coming for you or another person before you can use self-defense."
You're taking legal advice from a cop? Ask a Korean store-owner. Or a dead looter.
The Democrats won the WWI and WWII. I know you have those days where neurons aren't exactly firing in unison, but even this is beneath your omission.
Howard is showing more signs of dementia. So, the Wilsonites required that only registered Democrats board those ships for France?
Roosevelt has a better claim but his War and Navy Secretaries were Republicans. I know that is a shock.
Howard, reading would be good for you. I assume you can read.
In 1936, he got 71%, and the Black vote has gone overwhelmingly Democratic ever since. That means Black voters switched at a time when the Democratic party was openly and proudly enforcing segregation and Jim Crow in the South.
It was about the Benjamins, although in those days it was about the Washingtons and Lincolns. Welfare began about then.
"If they're only coming for your PROPERTY, you are committing a crime if you defend with violence. They have to be coming for you or another person before you can use self-defense."
And you, a law professor!
Pummeling Carpenter deprived him of his free press rights, a federal crime since the nineties.
That last question is chilling, and isn't that what the protesters want? No one who opposes the chaos should hope for the right-wing crowd to add to this discord.
Depends on how intelligent they are. Setting up sniper positions, and then shooting the first 10 non-peaceful protesters would probably cure a lot of the chaos.

So the Democrat just wants to protect property, the Republican wants to protect people AND property.
Advantage, Republicans.
Steineke tweeted, "The problem is, you [Evers] have tolerated it. You haven’t acted to protect state property. You say 'we are prepared to activate the National Guard.' Pardon me Gov, but what are you waiting for? A state Senator was attacked last night. Does someone need to die before you’ll act?"
Of course Evers wants a bunch of republicans killed. That's the only reason to let the violence keep on going.
